Ukraine faces a pivotal moment with a presidential election next week, the first since the events surrounding the 2014 Maidan revolution. Evelyn Farkas and Jonathan Katz of the German Marshall Fund join Greg to discuss the leading candidates, corruption, Russian aggression and what the West must do. A major battleground between the Kremlin and Western democracies, Ukraine remains a litmus test for the liberal world order’s commitment to the common values of democracy and self-determination.
